Windows 10: Sharing files and folders not working on one computer

Sharing files and folders not working on one computer

I have two desktops, one 32 bit connected by wifi and a 64 bit Windows 10 pro by ethernet. I can connect to shared folders from the 64 bit computer to 32 bit but not the other way round.

The error I receive on the 32 bit computer is network path not found when I click on the 64 bit computer in the Network Explorer. Running diagnostics on the 32 bit computer results in "file and printer sharing are on but not responding to connection."

Any ideas on how to fix?

With wifi the router can have a setting user isolation or similar which stop you connecting to local network so if someone hacks in they get the net but not local network check your router. Failing that have you shared a folder and is netbios running can you ping the pc by name and ip?

Guest access if off that is the only way it would be isolated. I can ping the computer by name but I get an IPV6 IP in the response from ping. I am using a 6to4 gateway as my ISP doesnt support native V6 yet.

I did have success yesterday after I did a windows repair trying to fix another problem but restored the backup of my current 64 bit system and it stopped working again. I wonder if it is because I have changed my MS password and the old machine isn't up to date?

This is what I use when I'm comparing 2 PCs to see what SMB ver is installed/enabled

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator (winkey + s > type in powershell > Right Click on PowerShell > Run as administrator)
2. Copy & Paste the following in the PowerShell Window and Press Enter to generate the smb-check.txt file on your Desktop.

So my computer (let's call it "Server") won't sleep because of srvnet as shown by cmd --> powercfg /requests. It only started recently but I don't know what caused it to do this.
I have always had folders on Server shared with other computers...
